City Spotlight: LONDON
CULTURE: London is known for its diverse culture and rich history, rooted in tradition. There’s a sort of juxtaposition between business and economic clout, full of museums, galleries and parks - and a youthful energy yearning for theaters, festivals and markets. The city is large, with more than 30 different boroughs, each with its own unique style.

ACCOMMODATIONS: A 3- or 4-star centrally-located hotel will run $200-$300/night, while more luxurious hotels in the heart of the city average $400+/night. The city’s public transportation system, referred to as the Tube, is clean, affordable and easy to navigate, however travelers should weigh convenience and cost when deciding where to stay.

WHEN TO VISIT: The best time to visit London is late spring or early fall. The temperature is still pleasant and there are fewer tourists, however there is always a chance for rain.

WHY VISIT: London is the perfect starting point for first-time international travelers. The city is full of iconic landmarks and historical sites, wrapped up in a clean - yet bustling package. London is both vibrant and approachable, for visitors of all cultures.

Airports saw a record number of travelers this Thanksgiving. Travelers flying during the holidays can expect just as large of crowds. Here are my top 5 holiday travel tips.

1. Book early. Lock in your seats at least 3 months in advance to get the best deal. The sooner you buy, the less you’ll stress about increasing prices.
2. Avoid peak travel days. If possible, buy tickets for less popular days, such as Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Flying on the actually holiday can also save you big bucks.
3. Give yourself time. With all the extra travelers, ticket counters, baggage drops, and security lines tend to have longer waits. Plan to arrive at the airport at least two hours before your flight to ensure you aren’t rushed.
4. Pack smart. For short trips, try to stick to carry-on luggage only to avoid the risk of bags getting lost.
5. Have a backup plan. Travel can be unpredictable. Try to be flexible when delays or cancellations arise and have a backup plan, such as driving when possible. The more prepared you are, the better you'll be able to handle unexpected surprises.
